Nicholas Thomas,Richard Eves

This text provides a window into the fantasies and realities of colonial life by presenting separate sets of letters by two late 19th-century British colonists of the South Pacific: Vernon Lee Walker and Louis Becke. The commentary explores colonial degeneration in the South Pacific, examining the procress whereby men and women eroded in the midst of the hot, violent and uncivil colonial milieu.
